We're simply fantastic. I get aroused while watching our games now. True story.
Sadly I don't know if you can 'rest' a goalie of his stature. he doesn't deserve to be starting for a top club at the moment thats for sure.Fantastic attack, shaky defence. Mason was unreal. DDG looks really off form. Might be worth giving him a break
Rashford shouldn't be left off this list.Pogba, Bruno, Martial, Greenwood. Those are our quality players. We can and should improve everywhere else.
We still need to have a bit of faith in him, regardless of his stupidly high wages. Maybe we bring back Henderson to compete with him next season, but i've never been a fan of competing keepers. For me it unbalances the defence.He should be canned. 6 months of poor form is fine considering his class and past performances. 2 years is not.
We are becoming known as a team with lethal attack, pretty good but immobile defense, and a shit keeper. Seriously. A shit keeper.
Jesus no! We want better players not worseSmalling?
Leicester will be out of top 4 before we meet them.We are 3 points off Leicester. And we play them in the last game. Meaning - if we win all remaining games (and depending on what Chelsea does), we could finish 3rd. Just think about that! Who would think about it being even a remote possibility, before Bruno's arrival?
Obviously, I don't know a single fan who wouldn't be ecstatic with 4th, as well, and that also requires a lot of work and luck, but just saying - 3rd place is still theoretically possible!
Awesome game today.
Ha! But someone like him, fast, strong, great in the air, good at 1v1, but can concentrate.Jesus no! We want better players not worse
Wasn't that Maguire's pass that gave away possession?I completely blame Matic for the pen, the pass was atrociously bad. Want to think that Ole subbed him off soon after that in recognition of that.
I think the criticism of Lindelof is unfair. A lot of criticism of Shaw on the Caf as well. Also unfair. Let’s be honest, Maguire should have done better, was nutmegged, DeGea should not have been beaten at the near post. Brilliant play by Stanislas, you have to give him credit.Insane match.
Started slowly, half-asleep and no rhythm.
Defence was determined to concede goals but the attack always look like scoring when they get going.
Greenwood excellent, he's going to be a massive star, Bruno great gain.
Lindelof is the weak link in this team, I know Maguire and DDG were poor but Lindelof gives me zero confidence. So slow and makes wrong decisions , called Maguire to leave the cross for the first goal.
Matic had a good game going forward but not so good going backwards and suicidal ball towards Bailly for their penalty.
Anyway focus on the positives, could have been any score and another win plus scored 5 in the league at home for the first time since 2011 I believe.
Greenwood's and Martial's strikes sublime, Bruno great free kick.
James and Fred did fine when coming on.
Need to prioritise another CB this summer.
Fast and good in the air yes, can't play football though. A mix between Lindelof and Smaling would be great. Doesn't matter though. This team is great. We need competent backup for Bruno and Pogba. We concede the odd dumb goal but we score all day. This is Man UtdHa! But someone like him, fast, strong, great in the air, good at 1v1, but can concentrate.
I don't know much about Henderson but its clear that we need a keeper compatible with possession football.We still need to have a bit of faith in him, regardless of his stupidly high wages. Maybe we bring back Henderson to compete with him next season, but i've never been a fan of competing keepers. For me it unbalances the defence.
Not all his fault. A sound defender would not try to keep possession in a situation like that. And he has no positional awareness either. Bailly is a strong CB, but he plays to his natural instinct too much. Not a fast thinker.What did he genuinely do wrong today?
The penalty wasn't his fault
He was unlucky not to get a goalFred looked great when he came on too.

Yes DDG and Maguire were poor as I said, Shaw I have no problem with. Regarding Lindelof I don't just mean this match, he has never given me confidence, seems unaware of danger consistently and is too slow and not that good in the air plus his passing is over-rated. We need a big upgrade if we're going to be challenging.I think the criticism of Lindelof is unfair. A lot of criticism of Shaw on the Caf as well. Also unfair. Let’s be honest, Maguire should have done better, was nutmegged, DeGea should not have been beaten at the near post. Brilliant play by Stanislas, you have to give him credit.
Bailly is athletic, but is very very limited in build up play. He also has a mistake in him every match. Do we need another ball playing CB? Absolutely. The unholy triumvirate of Bailly, Rojo and Jones just aren’t dependable enough to rotate. Where is Tuanzebe?
Mason... MOTM for me again. Of course Bruno is excellent, probably could be MOTM every game, but our confidence really took a jump after Mason scores.
It wasn't his fault at all. Terrible pass and it didn't even hit his hand.Not all his fault. A sound defender would not try to keep possession in a situation like that. And he has no positional awareness either. Bailly is a strong CB, but he plays to his natural instinct too much. Not a fast thinker.
